as i said before we can all feel how we feel, however, when one is convinced or has research to prove it, they show it. that's a true debate, not sidestepping. alot of things i asked you about your situation are going unanswered. :ponder: so, again, please fill us in...

Some people STILL live only until 30 or 40. Others until they're over 100. They obviously can't study every skeleton from 20 million years ago until now. In all fairness, that should be a "flaw" in the age study.

okay, fair enough, but then turn it around... why does god, said by many to decide our path for us, make anyone die in their 30s, 40s, some even in their teens. epilepsy, cancer, early heart attacks... no one deserves this, so do you mean that these illnesses and deaths were 'part of the design'? pls keep us posted (and i sincerely hope you're never there) if you ever have a seizure that paralyzes you or a stage 4 cancer with 3 months to live. or, an unexpected seizure that causes harm to someone else. you may realize that lifelong, incurable epilepsy runs the show, and is known by many to come back after years seizure free. case in point: the top in his class medical-research and teaching surgeon who just took part of my brain out told me recently re: epilepsy and its realities. he is about to operate on a man who went 25 years without a seizure. jane this is not a disease to fuck with, and this man is the most strongest example of the powers it has. thinking you'll be fine, for the rest of your life, on herbs and the like is a very naive idea.

All I know is it's working for me no matter what science or Pfizer or any M.D. or whoever wants to investigate.

if you still fully put your faith in someone (especially when it comes to your health, nothing is higher in importance!) charged with fraud for lying and stealing from people he ‘was helping’... what does this mean? all it says is that you believe in something PROVEN to be untrue. please state why that is an acceptable, and right, thing to do, esp. when it comes to your health?

curious how much real research you’ve given to your epilepsy. continuous eeg’s and mri’s, and mri after every grand mal (this is standard)?
gone down every medical avenue, including possible surgery, to cross off everything that may be an option?

to override that and say something ‘criminally proven’ to be untrue is the smarter, healthier choice, well, it bodes that the proven research, history, and medical necessities that come with having epilepsy don’t apply to you. so, b/c the choice you've made seems to work for you it means you are 'above' others with epilepsy (or any disease), that rely on and have learned, that medication is proven?

My younger sister is one with breast cancer that returned after 10 years. She just had to have a double mastectomy! Why did that happen when the docs thought she was cancer free? As I said in my last post, why do some who've had brain surgery get to go seizure-free and not me? Why were the seizures worse AFTER surgery? Friends and family 'prayed' for me. Really? Was god listening?

sorry to hear about your sister cint :(

as i'm so fresh from surgery i still have these thoughts; i had some family pray for me too, and out of respect i thanked them, but thoughts were 'if i make it through surg it's entirely due to one of the best neurosurgeons, one who's trained in epilepsy and finding the reason behind it.'
on monday it was officially 3 months seizure-free, and when i see him at my february follow-up he is getting massive hugs. he did his job, did it well, and i feel great.
on the other hand, if staying sezure-free doesn't last, what happened? people prayed for me so i should have been fine.
it will simply mean that there's more to look at IN MY BRAIN than realized, and i would add PROVEN meds until option #2 was figured out.
